I have a sticky note in my study that says ” Discipline= Khalsa, without Discipline, there’s no Khalsa, No Sikh…no Sikhi” …Sikhi is embracing the truth & being proud of it… Sikhi is being disciplined enough to earn a fair life, for oneself & the others. Sikhi is to be honest, humble, and ever willing to make sacrifices for peace, justice & truth. I feel that Sikhs are revolutionaries, by the very basic nature of their existence. Sikhs stand up for the truth & for those in need, they feed everyone who comes to their door. But ironically, Sikhs are the most attacked, most targeted, most massacred people of all. Our generations have been repeatedly wiped off, our women & children have been repeatedly raped & mass killed, Our shrines have been burnt & bombed over & over again & we await justice…

Personally, I don’t even understand the idea of “sacrifice”, but it is clear that being a sikh means standing up for the truth, even if you have to lay down your life & sacrifice all you’ve got for it…

I honestly can’t wrap my head around all this, but I know who to support & why.

About Me

I am H. Kaur, just a University student, wanting to experience the bliss of the True Guru's feet. This blog is my journal, It is the story of my journey through the tides of time, as I struggle through Maya (things that distract us from our creator), and pave my path, hopefully towards the Guru's feet. Here, I share my views, my stories and photography!
Enjoy!

Love & light

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter. As you see him, you will see yourself. As you treat him, you will treat yourself. As you think of him, you will think of yourself. Never forget this, for in him you will find yourself or lose yourself.~A Course in Miracles

Learn to detach from people’s personalities, pettiness, or little faults. Focus instead on their greatness and you will experience more of it. Non-attachment is loving people as they are and finding the right moment to insert a thought, a touch, or love into their lives to empower them to make a shift to a higher level of consciousness.
